The roots of baklava likely trace back to ancient culinary traditions, with a mixture of influences from several cultures and regions. While the dish became more widely associated with the Ottoman Empire, its origins can be linked to earlier civilizations, including the Byzantine Empire, Persian Empire, and even earlier, Mesopotamian cultures. Here are the key influences and possible roots of baklava:

1. Ancient Mesopotamia and Persia:
The earliest forms of layered pastry can be traced to ancient Mesopotamia and Persia. These early pastries involved simple techniques of layering dough and filling it with nuts or fruits. The concept of combining nuts (such as walnuts, pistachios, or almonds) and honey or syrup as a sweetener is rooted in these early Middle Eastern traditions.
The Persians, in particular, had a long history of making pastries with layers of dough, often sweetened with honey. Shirini, a Persian word for sweet, could have influenced the creation of early versions of baklava.

2. Byzantine Empire:
The Byzantines are considered one of the main influences on baklava. The technique of layering thin dough (known as phyllo or filo dough) can be traced to Byzantine pastry-making, which was more refined than earlier Mesopotamian methods.
The Byzantine Empire used dough layers similar to what we see in baklava today, and these early pastries would often be filled with nuts (such as walnuts and almonds) and sweetened with honey or syrups. While the precise modern version of baklava may not have existed in Byzantine times, the combination of these ingredients was common.
Byzantine courtly feasts, which were known for their luxury and use of intricate dishes, likely featured these rich, layered desserts, possibly as a precursor to baklava.

3. Ottoman Influence:
By the time the Ottoman Empire expanded across the Middle East and the Balkans, it is likely that baklava began to take its current form. The Ottomans refined the pastry, perfecting the phyllo dough technique, making it extremely thin and delicate.
The Ottomans were influenced by their predecessors, including the Byzantines, but they also introduced their own variations, adding more flavors and ingredients, including rosewater or orange blossom water, which were common in Ottoman sweets.
The Ottomans helped spread baklava to many parts of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, where local variations emerged.

4. Central Asian and Turkic Influences:
Some scholars also trace the origins of layered pastries to Central Asian Turkic peoples, who migrated westward into the Middle East and Anatolia. These peoples had long been making layered dough pastries, and their techniques likely influenced the development of baklava.
Süleymaniye, a term used in Central Asia to describe pastries with layers of dough, is another potential precursor to baklava.

5. Greek and Levantine Variants:
As the Byzantine Empire evolved, so did the culinary practices, which were absorbed into the cultures of the Levant and Greece. The concept of sweet pastries, often involving nuts, honey, and phyllo dough, likely evolved into regional variations of baklava across Greece, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey.

Conclusion:
Baklava’s roots are deeply intertwined with the culinary traditions of ancient Mesopotamia, Persia, the Byzantine Empire, and later the Ottoman Empire. The key elements—layered dough, nuts, and syrup or honey—have been part of Middle Eastern pastry traditions for millennia. While the exact "modern" version of baklava is most often associated with the Ottomans, it likely evolved from earlier Byzantine and Persian pastries, reflecting the cross-cultural exchange in the regions they ruled.
